Waze for Rolex

Any app developers on TRF?
How about developing an app where users can easily tap/click on a watch or watches they see in an AD . Then a user searching for, say, a SubC, can type it in the search box and the map populates w all locations that have an AD and then waze takes you there. If you call or get there and said watch is gone, then you swipe to delete said watch. Enough TRF users and Rolex fans to make this work? Rolex Pokémon?
Just random idea during a Sunday morning workout ... enjoy the rest of the weekend, TRF!

I think the user data would be crappy. How do you ever keep that updated in real time and accurate unless a TRF member was the one to buy each of the watches or be there when sold to update inventory on the app?

I like the idea though

Sadly this would be abused by flippers.

Great idea though! I could use a second career in watch sales!

what about an app that can give you the location of the Rolex AD you can drive straight there once you are within the stores geofence you can ask Siri 'Can I buy a stainless steel Rolex?"

the app could be called NoWaze

I'd be ok if someone else developed this app.

I could then download it for free and if it was rubbish, I'd click "uninstall".

... and it would have involved 0 hours of my time and Ł0 of my money.

I think many others would be ok with the same level of commitment/expenditure.

... not sure how many would want to put in the $$$$$$$$$ or thousands of hours of effort to develop the app, though.

This would be the app...
























Seems like lately there are no Professional watches in any storefronts. I'm sure they are in the back room or spoken for, but good luck finding them. And those lucky enough to know about those pieces, either just bought one or will never tell.

Great idea in theory....then you factor in greed. Lol.
Good dudes seem to place posts here on TRF when they see something they know others would be interested in. For now, that's probably as close as we'll get. Cool idea in a perfect world.
